Sarah works with clients who want to feel more connected to themselves, their relationships, and their lives, even when things feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming. Sarah brings a grounded, compassionate presence to the therapy room. She understands that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and she strives to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling from anxiety, depression, and/or the effects of past trauma. I work best with clients who are open to accepting their own responsibility to change, and are ready to recover control of their own life from the things which have held them back from how they want to live. I have a special passion and training to work with those who have undergone spiritual abuse/trauma, which is any harmful use of power and control experienced within a faith tradition. If you're recovering from this, or just want to sort out what you believe and why without judgment, I would love to help!

You’re the one everyone relies on. The responsible one. The strong one. The one who keeps it all together—even when it feels like too much. If you’re a caregiver or someone who struggles with anxiety, you may be used to putting yourself last. You push through, overthink, and carry more than most people realize. And even when things look “fine” on the outside, your mind doesn’t shut off, your body feels tense, and it’s hard to truly relax. I specialize in working with caregivers and high-functioning individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and emotionally exhausted.

I help adults who’ve already done the work in therapy but still feel pulled back into familiar emotional patterns. Together, we uncover what’s driving those reactions and transform old patterns into clarity, calm, and confidence. You might notice yourself replaying the past: overthinking every conversation, apologizing for existing, or shutting down when things get close. Part of you wants to move forward, but another part keeps pulling you back. That tug-of-war can be confusing and lonely, but it’s not impossible to untangle.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.

Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.

How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.

How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
